Apple 32" Pro Display XDR 16:9 Retina 6K HDR IPS Display (Standard Glass)
Key Features
  • In-Plane Switching (IPS) Panel
  • Thunderbolt 3 Input
  • 6016 x 3384 6K Resolution
  • 1,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
The Apple 32" Pro Display XDR 16:9 Retina 6K HDR IPS Display is built with a 32" IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel featuring a 6016 by 3384 6K resolution with Retina display technology that produces crisp, vivid images. As somewhat of a one-size-fits-all solution, the Pro Display XDR is well suited for multitasking and its 6K resolution with a 32" viewing area is plenty to work with. For photo and design-focused users, it's a large canvas that lets you fit all your content, tools, and anything else you'd like, on one screen. Likewise, video editors and audio engineers can stretch out their workflow to get a macro-view of their project. As a cherry on top, its 218 ppi (pixels per inch) rating helps to deliver sharp and detailed images. The Pro Display XDR's main connectivity option is a single Thunderbolt 3 port, which supports up to 96W of host charging, and it has three USB 2.0 Type-C ports for charging and syncing other devices. With the power of Thunderbolt 3, users can daisy-chain up to six displays to their accompanying Mac Pro.

With the power of Thunderbolt 3, users can daisy-chain up to six displays to their accompanying Mac Pro.

Design

The Pro Display XDR has a sleek and refined all-aluminum chassis with 9mm borders. This reduction in bezel size offers a more immersive viewing experience whether you're hard at work or taking a breather. Either or, users can kick back and relax thanks to its wide viewing angles, which preserve color and image quality. The honeycomb design on the back is meant to act as a heatsink, which keeps it cool while operating at high brightness levels.

Finish

The Apple Pro Display XDR is available in two versions: one with a standard glass finish and another with nano-texture glass. Both are engineered for low reflectivity, but the nano-texture finish offers enhanced glare reduction for those who are a bit more sensitive or work under harsh lighting conditions.

XDR

XDR stands for Extreme Dynamic Range and is essentially HDR (High Dynamic Range) at Apple's standards. The backlighting consists of an array of 576 LEDs that can sustain a brightness level of 1000 cd/m² and can even reach up to 1600 cd/m² for a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio to truly emphasize the differences between light and dark.

Color Accuracy & Calibration

Featuring a P3-wide color gamut and 10-bit color depth for 1.073 billion colors, the Pro Display is ideal for color-critical work. Additionally, its 576 LEDs are also individually calibrated and work with an algorithm that modulates their intensity to produce the best possible image.

Reference Modes

To adapt to the variety of standards content creators work with in media such as digital cinema (P3-DCI), photography (P3-D65), HDTV video (BT.709-BT.1886), design and print (P3-D50), Internet and web (sRGB), etc., Reference Modes reconfigure the display to match. It optimizes values like color space, white point, gamma, and brightness. Alternatively, users can also set up their own custom profile as needed.

True Tone technology

True Tone technology on the Pro Display XDR utilizes two ambient light sensors, one on the front and one on the back, to measure and then to adjust the color intensity of the display for accurate colors based on your environment.

Optional Stand & VESA Adapter

Since the Pro Display XDR does not come with a stand, users can purchase either the Pro Stand or VESA adapter for mounting.

Apple Pro Display XDR Reviews

Stellar but overpriced

By Josh

If this was OLED and 120hz, I think it would better justify the price. Still looks amazing and the build quality is, of course, top notch. The stand is a big improvement over the old Thunderbolt Displays.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

Is it worth it? Who knows but it's a truly amazing display for your desktop. I bought it after my LG 5K gave up and the LG support offering was so awful I vowed never to deal with them again

Had to get this for work, but way too expensive for what you get. Stand has to be bought separately, and it doesn't have a built-in camera.

I have put off this purchase for a while thinking there's no way this monitor is worth the price. But, it is. Excellent in every way and fits in the Apple Ecosystem so much better than other monitors. Was hard to make the purchase at first, but very glad that I did overall. Exceptionally rich colors, brightness no other monitor can match and small bezels and large screen estate. What's not to love?

No Stand

This monitor is the best BUT be aware it has no camera or speakers, to be expected at this level, but it also ships with no stand nor means of mounting. The $1,000 Apple stand allows it to move up and down about 3 each way. To mount to a much less expensive (about $70) moving arm requires a special Apple bracket costing over $200. WONDERFUL 6K monitor, but be prepared when the box shows.

I love the Pro Display XDR. I prefer standard glass over the nanotexture because it maintains a higher level of sharpness, contrast, and clarity. Everything on this display is vivid and you are really able to immerse yourself in the photography or films you are editing. The color accuracy is also excellent.

Asked by: Frank
Yes. Check Youtube for a bunch of tests people do with different computers. PCs and even Mac's running windows mostly seem to work with a few limitations sometimes. (5k instead of 6k at times, and no HDR at times, all depending on what you hook up and which gfx card etc.) But they do work!

Can this monitor be used with a colorimeter to produce an extremely accurate profile? Which device(s)? I print my own stuff and this is very important to me.
Asked by: Richard
I guess is possible but I haven't try that. The color accuracy on this monitor is spot on. I don't see the need for calibration. I had to do calibrations on my other two LG 5K monitors but not this one. My prints are the same in color tonality as the monitor. I hope this helps.
